Abstract

In this paper, a design method of the compact narrow band filter on the microstrip board is proposed using complementary split-ring resonators(CSRRs). The design technique of this filter is based on cascading filter stages consisting of the combination of circular CSRRs, capacitive gaps between patches, and inductive grounded stubs with the meander configuration. By these means, it was possible to get the nearly symmetric frequency responses, adjustable bandwidths, compact sizes. And also excellent characteristic of the out-of-band rejection is achieved in contrast to the conventional filter design technique. The measured insertion shows good results about -4.0dB at the center frequency($f_0=1GHz$) and passband return loss is less than -9.4dB. The 3dB fractional bandwidth(FBW) is approximately 4%. The results of the frequency response measured on the fabricated band pass filter substrate show satisfactory agreement with the simulated frequency responses by the HFSS in the region of interest.

본 논문에서는 원형 Complementary split-ring resonator(CSRR)를 이용하여 마이크로스트립 기판상에 구현될 소형 협 대역통과 필터설계기법을 제안한다. 이 필터의 설계기법은 원형 CSRR, 패치사이의 용량성 갭, 그리고 미앤드 구조를 가진 유도성 스터브의 조합으로 구성된 필터 단들의 종속 연결에 근거를 두고 있다. 그 기법하에서 거의 대칭인 필터응답, 가변 대역폭, 그리고 소형필터를 구현할 수 있었다. 제안된 필터는 기존의 필터보다 저지대역에서 우수한 차단특성을 가졌다. 측정결과, 삽입손실은 중심주파수($f_0=1GHz$)에서 -4.0dB, 통과대역에서 -9.4dB 이하, 3dB 대역폭은 약 4%로 나타났다. 제작된 필터의 관심 영역 주파수응답은 HFSS로 전산모의 실험된 값과 잘 일치되었다.
